Has anyone with a failed CC BEC did any digging to find out which component blew? During my testing, the inductor was the hottest part at full load. I wonder if the lamination are simply melting? If so, a larger inductor (physically, not inductance value) may be the way to go. I still don't like how the CC BEC goes though - I think a UBEC should simply output 0v instead of full battery voltage...
